Caleb Brett liked his job as deputy sheriff of Las Cruces. He liked the town and its people and being betrothed to the sheriff's daughter, Rose. What he didn't like was the thought of the sheriff moving in with him and Rose, once they were married. But capturing the infamous outlaw and mad killer, Gil Bannerman offered a way out of the dilemma because there was plenty of reward money to go around. Then came Brett's big mistake - he lost Bannerman and when he went after the man, dodging bullets all the way, he was framed and forced into outlawry. Now everything he treasured was lost and the question was: Did he have a chance in hell of fighting his way back?
